Netanyahu will urge Obama to publicly back attack on Iran, sources
 Intensive preparations underway to ensure a successful meeting between the two leaders next week in Washington, despite lack of trust between two sides.

Pathetic! This is what sells for 'church leadership' in these last days
Making the lost think they're saved.

Teaming up with Satan's Religion - Rick Warren builds bridge to Muslims
The Rev. Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest and one of America's most influential Christian leaders, has embarked on an effort to heal divisions between evangelical Christians and Muslims by partnering with Southern California mosques and proposing a set of theological principles that includes acknowledging that Christians and Muslims worship the same God.

• We don't worship the same God. They worship the Beast
• Muslims deny Jesus Christ as the Son of God
• Christians believe the only way to the Father is through His Son.
• Muslims deny the Trinity
• Muslims kill former Muslims who convert to Christianity.
• Christians will be redeemed at the return of Jesus Christ.
• Muslims will be condemned at the return of Christ.
• Muslims kill over the burning of a book, or the drawing of a prophet.
• etc, etc. The difference is night and day (or more appropriately darkness and light).

Nope, I really don't see the parallels in the two religions that Mr. Warren apparently sees.

We should be trying to witness and convert unbelievers, including Muslims, before it is too late. Soon it will be too late.

Revelation 3:
    ¹⁴ “To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:

   These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. ¹⁵ I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! ¹⁶ So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. ¹⁷ You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. ¹⁸ I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.

 John 14:

⁶ Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. ⁷ If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”

 WikiLeaks biggest secret?
That its latest revelations are a huge letdown.

Afghan Apologies Beside the Point
Americans are sick of seeing their government grovel. It is high time to point out that Muslim violence against non-believers far outweighs the few isolated incidents for which a Western apology to Muslims is in order.

The 'Abomination of Desolation', Temple Mount
Soon to be razed.

Engraved on the walls of the Dome of the Rock, the great abomination of which all Christians should be knowledgeable:

O People of the Book! (Book = Bible, People = Christians) Do not exaggerate in your religion
nor utter aught concerning God save the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of
Mary, was only a Messenger of God (Anti-Christ message), and His Word which He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in God and His messengers, and say not 'Three' - Cease! (Denying the Trinity) (it is) better for you! - God is only One God. Far be it removed from His transcendent majesty that He should have a son.

DEBKAfile, Red Cross corridor to Homs - start of foreign intervention in Syria
Debkafile’s military sources report exclusively that it came about after Washington and Ankara warned Assad through confidential channels that if his forces interfered with the emergency medical route for Homs, US and Turkish warplanes would take off from air bases in East Turkey and give the medical convoys air cover, thereby opening the door for a Western-Arab plan for resolving the Syrian crisis.

Somewhere along the line Damascus is going to be leveled.

US officials believe Iran sanctions will fail, making military action likely | The Guardian: If Obama were to conclude that there is no choice but to attack Iran, he is unlikely to order it before the presidential election in November unless there is an urgent reason to do so. The question is whether the Israelis will hold back that long.

...or if Iran will hold back that long.

If this is the beginning of the Gog & Magog war, Ezekiel 38 says Israel will be attacked and NOT be the aggressor. We should remember however, that Iranian proxies of Hamas and Hezb'allah have tens of thousands of missiles pointed at Israel right now in Gaza and Lebanon, including the "missing" missiles from Libya, which is also specifically mentioned in Ezekiel 38:

⁵ Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya will join you, too, with all their weapons...

¹¹ You will say, ‘Israel is an unprotected land filled with unwalled villages! I will march against her and destroy these people who live in such confidence! ¹² I will go to those formerly desolate cities that are now filled with people who have returned from exile in many nations. I will capture vast amounts of plunder, for the people are rich with livestock and other possessions now. They think the whole world revolves around them!’
